Kendo Club.
After school, Hachiman arrived here as usual.
When he got to the club, there weren't many people around yet, but he imdiately spotted Saeko Busujima kneeling in the practice area, clearly having been waiting for him for a while.
"Good afternoon, Busujima-senpai."
Even though she had been waiting for him, Hachiman politely greeted her.
Upon hearing his voice, Saeko opened her previously closed eyes and looked at Hachiman standing not far away.
There seed to be a hint of a smile in her deep blue eyes.
"Hikigaya-kun, I've been waiting for quite so ti. Hurry up and change your clothes, let's start today's match!" As she spoke, there was a hint of excitent in her tone.
Alright, this beautiful senpai seems to be addicted to this. It looks like she's been holding back for quite so ti.
In no ti, Hachiman changed into his kendo uniform and returned to the practice area.
"Thank you for waiting, Busujima-senpai," Hachiman nodded to Saeko in front of him.
"No need to be formal, Hikigaya-kun. Considering our similar kendo skills, just call Saeko," she replied.
For soone from Saeko Busujima's kendo background, skill mattered most, and Hachiman's kendo level was certainly high enough to address her by her first na.
"In that case, Saeko-senpai, you can just call Hachiman."
"Hachiman-kun, let's begin!" Saeko was becoming quite eager.
Wow, Senpai, you're in a hurry, aren't you? Shouldn't we have a bit of ntal preparation first?
"Alright, Saeko-senpai, please teach !" Hachiman couldn't refuse an invitation from such a beautiful senpai, and sparring with her would certainly improve his kendo skills.
Before he could react, a fragrant breeze rushed toward him, and Saeko closed the distance in a single step, bringing her sword down.
Hachiman remained composed, raising his wooden sword.
Smack!
"Saeko-senpai, you really are impatient!" Hachiman couldn't help but laugh as he deftly caught her strike.
"Can't help it. It's not every day I et a formidable opponent like you, Hachiman-kun." Saeko tone couldn't hide her enthusiasm.
"Please satisfy , Hachiman-kun," she said with a strange choice of words before launching another attack.
"Don't worry, Saeko-senpai. I'll make sure you're satisfied." With these words, Hachiman raised his sword and joined the spar.
Whack! Whack! Whack! Whack!
The sound of wooden swords clashing echoed continuously in the practice area.
As ti passed, Saeko, who had been unable to land a hit, grew increasingly fierce in her attacks.
Feeling the growing force behind the wooden sword, Hachiman raised an eyebrow.
It seed that his senpai was entering one of those frenzied states again.
However, this ti, he didn't plan to retreat like last ti.
Instead, he chose to fight fire with fire.
Hachiman was confident he wouldn't lose to a girl like Saeko in terms of pure strength.
Moreover, his enhanced reflexes from his Level 3 physique were far beyond that of an average person.
Today, he wanted to see how far he could push himself when facing Saeko in her full frenzy.
"Hachiman, you're really impressive!" Unable to land a hit, Saeko complinted him.
The two of them once again found themselves in a deadlock, evenly matched.
"Where do you see that, Saeko-senpai? I'm still far from matching your skills," Hachiman replied modestly to her praise.
"Be prepared!" Before he could catch his breath, Saeko launched another assault with her sword.
Busujima-ryu - Tora Kiba Giri!
Without a chance to complain, the frenzied onslaught resud, forcing Hachiman to focus and defend.
Busujima-ryu - Kamaitaichi Senran!
Busujima-ryu - Gyakuten Kaiten!
Busujima-ryu - Hikari Nagare!
The relentless attacks continued, and Hachiman had to keep up his defenses to withstand Saeko's onslaught.
Saeko executed each move of her Busujima-ryu swordsmanship with precision and vigor, demonstrating her mastery. Yet, Hachiman remained remarkably resilient, relying on his exceptional reflexes to hold his ground.
"It's not enough yet. I'm not satisfied, Hachiman-kun. Let's continue!" Seeing him withstand her onslaught, Saeko beca even more exhilarated.
A hint of bloodlust glimred in her eyes as she intensified her grip on the wooden sword.
Duang~
Feeling the trendous force transmitted through the wooden sword, even Hachiman, with his current physique, was forced to take two steps back.
His palms were starting to numb.
However, he chose not to retreat further but instead closed the distance, raising his wooden sword to initiate an attack.
He wanted to find out where his limits were now!
"Good, just like that, just like that."
"Co at with all your might!"
As Hachiman charged toward her, Saeko grew increasingly excited.
She raised her wooden sword and charged back.
Duang, duang, duang, duang~
The clashing of wooden swords beca even more intense, and their attack speeds continued to escalate.
Both of them had unleashed their true abilities, leaving no room for reservation in this fierce battle.
As ti passed, more and more club mbers gathered around, drawn by the spectacle.
They had witnessed Hachiman's strength before, so it wasn't surprising that Saeko chose to spar with him again.
After all, he was the only one in the entire club who could provide her with a challenging match.
The crowd continued to grow, but nobody uttered a word.
All of them watched in silent anticipation, aware that battles of this caliber were a rare sight.
Kotonoha was among the onlookers, her expression showing concern as she witnessed Hachiman engaged in an intense battle with Saeko on the practice field.
"Hikigaya-kun..."
In just a short span of ti, she had already seen Hachiman getting hit several tis by Saeko's ferocious attacks.
However, he didn't give up but chose to keep on attacking.
Apart from occasionally blocking critical strikes, he maintained a relentless offensive.
Having never seen Hachiman exhibit such an intense desire to attack during their previous sparring sessions, Kotonoha couldn't help but feel worried.
On the other side, Hachiman felt his blood boiling within him as he battled Saeko.
Although he had taken quite a few hits, this kind of battle felt truly genuine. Indeed, in their hearts, n longed for a heated battle like this.
However, he could also sense that he was nearing his limits.
Even though he hadn't collapsed yet, he was rely enduring it through sheer stamina.
In terms of kendo, he still had a considerable gap compared to Saeko.
This battle could co to an end.
